March is Women's History Month: Celebrate Herstory
"Each time a girl opens a book and reads a woman- less history, she learns she is worth less." -Myra Pollack Sadker

Women have played an important role in history since the beginning of time. Yet only recently has the emphasis been to recognize these women and tell their story. In 1981, the U.S. Congress designated the week of March 8 as National Women's History Week. In 1987 it was expanded to include the entire month. This March, bookwire celebrates Women's History Month by recognizing women- well- known and not so well-known, in fields including science, politics, literature, and broadcasting.
